Coober Pedy Experience Motel  

In the heart of Coober Pedy’s opal country, this underground motel sits within walking distance of Umoona Opal Mine & Museum, Faye’s Underground Home, Big Winch and the quirky film landmark Spaceship from Pitch Black. Easy strolls bring you to Old Timers Mine, Josephine’s Gallery & Kangaroo Orphanage and other outback attractions.

Stay in cool subterranean rooms carved out of the hill for a true underground hotel experience. Rooms include kitchenettes or mini-fridges, microwaves, flat-screen TVs and free coffee. Private tours of the motel’s working mine are available and the property is a top stop for opal shopping.

Pet-friendly and family-friendly features include a kids’ playroom, picnic and BBQ areas, shops, a bar and an on-site cafe/coffee shop. There’s also a massage room and on-call doctor, plus baggage storage and free parking on site.

Meeting space is available along with copy and fax services. Free Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while you work or plan tours.

Grab coffee and light bites at the on-site cafe, join afternoon tea service, or fire up the barbecue for an easy evening. When you want local flavor, nearby Outback Bar & Grill is a popular spot serving Greek-style dishes.
